Wupatki National Monument is one of nearly 300 areas administered by the
National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior. These
include magnificent areas set aside for their scenic, scientific, and
historical values, and they belong to you and are a part of your
heritage as American citizens.
The National Park Service has the responsibility of preserving the Parks
and Monuments in their natural, unspoiled condition and of making them
available for your enjoyment in such a manner as to leave them
unimpaired for the enjoyment and inspiration of future generations. In
order to achieve this high purpose, such destructive activities as
woodcutting, hunting, grazing, mining and even flower-picking are
prohibited. We hope you will join us in protecting Wupatki National
Monument by taking only pictures and inspiration, and leaving only
footprints and goodwill.
